Spain's 2030 public holiday calendar continues the pattern of key fixed-date holidays falling unfavourably. Epiphany (6 January) is a Sunday — no weekday benefit. National Day (12 October) is a Saturday — military parade on a weekend. Labour Day (1 May) is a Wednesday — mid-week, needing leave on both sides for a proper break.
Easter Sunday is 21 April 2030. Good Friday is 19 April. Semana Santa processions in Seville, Málaga, and across Spain fall in the week of 14–19 April — a classic mid-April Holy Week with typically warm spring weather, considered by many aficionados the ideal timing for the great Andalusian processions.
Constitution Day (6 December) falls on a Friday — automatic three-day weekend, and the year's best fixed-date placement. The Immaculate Conception (8 December) is a Sunday. Workers looking to maximise their December break should plan leave around Constitution Day.

Frequently Asked Questions
When is Semana Santa in Spain in 2030?
Semana Santa falls in mid-April 2030. Easter Sunday is 21 April, so Good Friday is 19 April and Palm Sunday is 14 April. The Semana Santa processions take place during the week of 14–19 April — ideal mid-April timing with warm spring weather across southern Spain.
Does Spain's National Day create a long weekend in 2030?
No — National Day (12 October) falls on a Saturday in 2030. Spain has no substitute holiday system, so workers receive no compensatory weekday off. The military parade in Madrid takes place on the Saturday.
Is Constitution Day (6 December) the best placement of 2030?
Yes — Constitution Day (6 December) falls on a Friday in 2030, giving an automatic three-day weekend. With National Day, Epiphany, and the Immaculate Conception all falling on weekends, Constitution Day's Friday placement is the year's standout fixed-date public holiday.
Does Labour Day create a Puente in Spain in 2030?
Only with two bridge days. Labour Day (1 May) falls on a Wednesday in 2030. Taking Tuesday 30 April and Thursday 2 May as leave creates a six-day break — but requires two days of annual leave.
Which Semana Santa in the 2024–2031 range has the best weather?
The 2030 Semana Santa (14–19 April) and 2025 Semana Santa (14–18 April) are both mid-April — considered the ideal timing for the great Andalusian processions, when temperatures are reliably warm without the summer heat. The 2027 edition (21–26 March) is the earliest and coldest of the decade.
